Lourdes

Description

Whether Our Lady appears to you in the wilderness guiding you to the underground spring of holy water, or you're making shoes from a vision in your head, Miracles happen every day (at least they do here at Fluevog). Designed with delicate swooping curves upon a hand carved wooden last, The Lourdes boot was one of those magical styles that make you think God was guiding John's pencil. Made in a Peruvian factory that has a reputation for outstanding quality and craftsmanship, the Lourdes knee-high boot features 3" wrapped heels, delicious soft Peruvian suedes or leathers with patent trims, on a foot molding leather sole that would ensure you always shine in the guiding light.

These boots are a piece of ART! I love, love, love mine!I just got them last week and they fit perfectly right out of the box! Sexy and truly unique, these boots will make you feel and look like a million bucks! This was my first Fluevog purchase and my first time buying shoes online. I was nervous because I have very wide feet and the boots looked narrow, but the lovely sales associates from the store in Montreal advised me to trying going up one size, from 10 to 11. I am so happy I took their advice. Not only are they a great fit, but they are super comfortable, too! If you have "wide feet" like me and you love these boots, simply go up one size and you'll be fine! A+++

Essential!

I lusted after the olive leathers for a long time. When they went on sale, I couldn't resist. I knew that I wanted these to be my fall/winter boots, so I sized up to 10.5 US per the Fluevogist's recommendation (she originally suggested a 10 for me, 1/2 size up from my size in this shoe family).

I was pleased to find that these babies fit great right out of the box when they arrived (with thick socks). I needed very little break-in time before wearing these out on the street. The width is great for me - my foot doesn't feel squeezed at all. They were a little tight across the instep at first, but the leather is buttery soft and loosens quickly. Not much in the way of arch support, and I'm thinking about getting a shallow insert for that. The leg circ. in this size is approx. 14", and it's probably 13-ish in smaller sizes.

I get compliments on them all the time, and I smile every time I open my closet and see them! They're essentials, in my book.

Kristin Janzen - Vancouver

I went to Fluevog after seeing these online with my heart set on the grey/green colour. In person, they are more olive green, which was a shock - not what I was expecting. It didn't take long for me to really fall in love with the colour. I have high arches which made getting into them a bit tricky at first. Now, 6 months later, they really fit like a glove & I always get compliments wearing them. I found the sizing good, I purchased an 8 - although I normally wear 7.5 - to let me wear thicker tights during winter.

The most exquisite boots I've ever seen

Rachel Gilley - Asheville

I have these boots in the discontinued red suede with black patent leather detailing. I still cannot believe I shelled out this kind of money for footwear, but they are literally the most exquisite boots I have ever laid eyes upon. When people see them, they go bananas and want to touch the buttery velvety suede. They are so impeccably well made and stunning. They do run small, so go up a size. I take immaculate care of these and I hope they will last me forever because I will die when they do. :)

Fave Ever Boots

Lisa - Brunei

It was seconds between seeing these online when they were new and emailing the fabulously helpful Keith in L.A. to order them. They are psobably my favourite ever boots. And I have a loooooot of boots! The red is striking and the black curve and button detail is stunning. I don't find them tight in the leg but I do have skinny ankles and calves. However I do find them very tight in the foot - it' an effort to get my foot into them and they are horribly tight, making them quite painful after a short while. Had I tried them instore I would probably have gone for a 7 1/2 but I live in Australia so that wasn't an option. And I was so eager to wear them, having fallen in love, that they went for an outing immediately and then it was too late to return them. they are still my fave ever boots but I have to wear them when I pkan on sitting a lot. Get them, they are gorgeous, but get them big!

Sexy Boots

Kimberley Hynes - Calgary

I dress in business attire everyday and I am in and outside. These boots give the look I need. It's such a difficult balance of getting something comfortable and stylish. Great Job Fluevog. So glad I read the other reviews about letting to boots warm up a bit as they are super form fitting to the calves. I couldn't walk away had to buy them and I absolutely love them.

Absolutely Beautiful

Emily - Toronto

I bought these beauties yesterday (my first pair of Fluevogs), and they are STUNNING. I'm a 10 or 10.5 in most shoes, and needed these in an 11. At the store I tried them on with my tall socks and there was a massive gap up the calf. I simply could not get the zipper up, and I was pretty devastated. However, I took off my socks... hung out in the store for a bit... and as the leather gradually warmed up, I slowly managed to zip them up! Yes, initially I had an almost 2 inch gap in the zipper on the left calf, and by the end of my visit, I had got them completely done up. So, although this may not work for all of you lusting after them who have bigger calves like I do, it might be worth a try... :)

Pretty shoes, but so uncomfortable

Ellie - San Francisco, CA

The service was great at the store. The shoes are beautiful. They seemed to fit comfortably in the store. Nothing was cramped in the toe area, but after a night out on the town they hurt my feet terribly. They're still sore two days later and my toes are still tingling. (-( Though I got lots of compliments but it's just not worth the pain. Sigh.

so fierce

Alicia - Chicago

Every diva needs a pair of knee-high heels. When I found Fluevog, my most recent pair had expired on me after a mere 6 months of relatively light wear (once a week for three of those six months. once a month, since it was winter, before then.) I fell immediately in love with Lourdes, especially with the Victorian-ish buttons up the side. That little detail is so wonderful without being too costumey. The shoe itself fits like a glove and seems to run true to size. I do have to say though that these boots are fierce until you break them in. Don't plan on taking any hikes in these or going out for a long night unless you want to suffer divinely. As I said one day after work, "You don't wear Lourdes. Lourdes wears you." Devotion pays off over time, however. Now I have a seriously sexy pair of quality boots that can be pared with anything from pencil skirts to jeans. I even received a few compliments on them from Parisians.

Heart Broken

Carmen - Philadelphia, PA

I recently traveled up to NYC for my birthday and decided to stop by the Fluevog store on Mulberry to window shop and perhaps try on some shoes.

The black Lourdes was one of the pairs I tried on in size 10. They are so beautiful and comfortable. It broke my heart that I was not able to zip them up all the way. I ended up with a 2" gap near the top on my right calf and a 1& 3/4" gap on my left calf. I ran into this problem with the other zip up boots as well. Petrea, the store manager, was very helpful though and was able to find me some that fit. I ended up going with the Babycakes in a size 10 1/2. Please, please, pleeeaase consider making the calf area more adjustable for the larger shoe sizes in the future. (:`(

THE boots.

Tina - Scranton, PA

I've been looking for a pair of high button boots for almost a decade. Most of what I found either had an awful heel, the buttons were too large or they had modern styling that ruins the Edwardian effect. These however, are perfect. The curves along the button path are fun and playful and totally work with the shape of your leg. These boots look amazing with 40s dresses and suits and also look sexy with Victorian underwear. They do run small, I would recommend a half to a full size up if you want to wear them with warm socks. They are really comfortable and well balanced. I wore them in a music video and was on my feet all day in them with no pain. Here they are in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKshjIEMNyc
I can't recommend these enough, they will make you happy every time you put them on.

My first Fluevogs!

Brigitte - Germany

My red suede Miracle lordes boots arrived today! @>-
To be honest, initially I was a bit shocked at just HOW narrow these run - My usual European size is 39, which converts to an American 8.5, and I ordered these in 9.5 as I have wide feet and 8.5 wasn't available anyway (thanks god!). This very moment I'm stretching them, to get in at all I had to put thin, slippery plastic trash bags on my feet (works wonders!). And guess what? This WILL work, I was able to zip them up and I can feel them adjusting to my feet.
This is the most expensive fashion item I've ever bought, and I am so happy I did. Almost too pretty to wear, I'll have to wait for some really special occasion. As another reviewer has noted before, the colour is indeed rather burgundy than the bright red on the website, but equally gorgeous. I just hope the bottons won't drop off ...
Everybody mentioning the high prices: count yourself lucky if you're not in Europe, overseas shipping is f***ing expensive, and then there's that import tax!
Greetings to Anthony and Takeo in Montreal. I really enjoyed the personal touch with the little notes accompanying the parcel!

No Regrets

Amber Davies - Australia

I bought this boots purely based on the picture and the reviews - and I have no regrets. I am usually an Australian size 10, but on a friend's advice I got them in 11 and they are a perfect fit. Super snug around the calf (definitely check your measurements with one of the amazing Fluevog staff). Suede is soft as butter and they just look amazing on. I nearly got the black boots, as I thought they were a more practical buy - now I just want both!

Monica

I bought these luscious boots but have had the buttons repaired twice, where they began to fall off after just one wearing. I wore them again yesterday for the 5th time, and the buttons began to drop, so now I need to get them repaired again?! I wish I would have made a different choice bought the Lover boots in red instead of these. I paid over $400 for beautiful boots which keep raining buttons. (:`(

Sorry Paris...

Dana - Seattle

Came in with the idea of getting that pair of Paris shoes in pale pink I've been eyeing for months, but then these called to me, begged to be taken home, and jumped on my feet. How could I say no? So warm and fit so well. My husband now thinks these would be best with a skirt and no tights. Science demands an experiment.

Deco Delicious

M - California

Got these in the red, although i was originally hesitant about ordering anything suede-- however, it is so soft and pretty, more like velvet than roughout-- no regrets! Slim girls be forewarned- the calves are quite large on me, much larger than the calves on my minis, but the boots still look great and even made it through some pretty wet weather without sustaining visible damage. One of the buttons did pop off the first time i wore them-- admittedly i might be a little hard on my footwear-- but i found it and plan to reattach it somehow.

Greg

Hi M, call one of the JF stores and they can assist you in getting that button back on. Sorry about that!

Jezebelle - Los Angeles, CA

I just purchased these boots and they are fantastic! Great detailing, and they will surely help me cope with the holidays! I bought the deep red/burgundy, which is a beautiful wine shade. Thank you for another beautiful design to add to my growing shoe closets.

I would share that one may want to purchase this shoe one size larger. I usually order my Fluevogs in a size 11, even though I wear a 10. This pair in particular seems a bit tight along the vamp of the shoe. I know once it stretches to fits to my foot, it will be fine!

Just Love Them

shirley - montreal

I was a little hesitant about buying these boots. I couldn't zipper them up, but the wonder people at the store told me that they could be stretched. And now I don't want to take them off!! The leather is like butter, and the red soles are so sexy.
Pretty much heaven on earth.

Heavenly

Emma - London

Miracle? You betcha. These boots are a transcendental experience.

Shortly after purchase, my boyfriend proposed. You can’t tell me this is coincidence.

Big thanks to the boys in NYC store for convincing me to go with the red. They are even more magnificent in the dreary English weather.
